Amazing representation by Brian Jordan
Brian was recommended to us by an attorney in our local area after my husband was in an altercation while on vacation in the Poconos. As someone who had never even had a speeding ticket in 50+ years and now facing a simple assault charge we were scared to death. We made the call to Brian who reached back to us within an hour. His professionalism in explaining everything to us left us feeling more at ease with less worry. Brian kept in close contact and kept us informed every step of the way. We felt his retainer fee taking us through preliminary hearings was more than fair. It was time for the preliminary hearing, the first time we met face to face, again he was very calming and assured us of his plan. Unfortunately the other involved party (victim) had already decided he didn’t want to rectify anything that day and wanted this case to go to trial for justice. When Brian delivered the news we were again worried and scared of the “what ifs”. Brian got right back to work and requested another hearing before proceeding with a trial. Brian continued reaching out to others involved to inform them of his position with our case. Today was the hearing, the charges of simple assault were dropped, thanks to Brian’s knowledge and persistence with the DA in what really happened during the altercation. The victim still wanted maximum fines on the harassment/disorderly conduct charges that were pursued instead. However Brian once again was able to get the fines dropped to a lesser amount. We walked out of there with no probation or jail time, a lesser charge with lower fines. We believe with all our hearts this was only possible because of Brian’s knowledge, research and persistence in fighting our case. I hope that we will never need legal representation again, but if we do Brian will be the attorney we hire. We will recommend him to anyone that needs legal counsel in the Poconos area. Thank you so much Brian for all you’ve done for Kevin and I.

Professional and Reliable Representation.
I was involved in an incident that brought forward a criminal charge against me from an overzealous officer. This charge came from what I felt was a massive misunderstanding and during the wrong time in my life. Hiring Brian was the best possible decision. He was professional, understanding, and knew the best course of action for my situation. He was quick to respond to my questions while explaining the nuances of my situation. Brian was able to get me into the Pennsylvania ARD program with a misdemeanor and summary charge against me. When it comes to your record, trust that Brian will exhaust all options and weigh the pros and cons with you to help you make an educated decision.

Recommendation for Brian Jordan
I retained Brian Jordan to defend me in a DUI case. I couldn’t have been happier with Brian’s representation. Brian is a skilled litigator who is adept at navigating the landscape of the local courts in Monroe County. Brian took the time to explain everything, answer all of my questions, and to explain both the pros and cons of our defense as well as what the prosecution's possible responses would be. Perhaps Brian’s best quality is that gives you the sense that he truly cares. I felt that Brian was truly vested in the outcome of the case and in helping me, which was evidenced by the time he took to thoroughly discuss and game plan our strategy at every step along the way. I would recommend Brian to anyone who needs to be defended in a criminal case and needs representation in Monroe County.

DUI
Mr Jordan is a very good lawyer. I reached out to him on the weekend and he responded right back right away. He helped my case out and it went quick once I received all my paperwork. Mr Brian pretty much handled majority of everything through email or phone to where I was still able to work. I found him through the internet from other clients that he has helped and what they stated is very true. He is a very good lawyer and he listened to me. He had my back which is important. Thank you Mr Brian Jordan.

DUI Case
Brian is a great lawyer & I would highly recommend him. He is easy to get a hold of and great at explaining all possible scenarios. He talked me through my situation and made what should have been a stressful time much easier. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help lead me through this difficult time.

Incredibly Grateful
I cannot express how grateful I am for having contacted Brian. He immediately went into action and continued to be pro-active in his efforts to help resolve my situation. Being from out of town, I did not know who to call, so working with Brian was a leap a faith. One in which I felt confident in the whole way through. I am so happy I made that call! I can’t recommend him highly enough as I truly do feel if I hadn’t called him I would have gotten a much different result.
